At the crossroads of physics and mathematics : the joy of integrable combinatorics — A conference in the honor of Philippe Di Francesco's 60th birthday
The conference took place at the Institut de Physique Théorique (IPhT), CEA Paris/Saclay, on June 24-26, 2024. It focused on Philippe's many research interests : conformal field theories, integrable systems, random matrices, enumerative and bijective combinatorics, bidimensional quantum gravity, tilings and arctic curves, cluster algebras... The list of speakers includes :
- Gernot Akemann (Bielefeld University & University of Bristol)
- Guillaume Barraquand (LPENS, CNRS/École normale supérieure)
